CONCORD – The New Hampshire Executive Council confirmed Beth H. Kissinger of Hopkinton to serve as justice for the state Circuit Court and Daniel C. Goldner of Manchester to serve on the state’s Public Utilities Commission, despite some concern raised about his nomination by the Council’s lone Democrat.
The vote for Kissinger Wednesday was unanimous but Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington of Concord expressed concern about Goldner’s lack of “relevant knowledge” and experience for joining the PUC.
